David’s first cross was in 1958, and his love of daylilies continues unabated. He is perhaps best known for his red and double flowered cultivars, although his two Lennington All American daylilies - MING PORCELAIN and CHORUS LINE were shades of pink. His two Stout Medal award winners – BETTY WOODS, the first double ever to win is a golden yellow, as is his single flowered, BILL NORRIS. David eagerly anticipates the challenge of growing and hybridizing daylilies for northern hardiness. 
Mort Morss began hybridizing daylilies in 1971, and his cultivars are very popular and widely grown. His award winning, first introduction, was named INNER VIEW and it helped launch the popularity of patterned daylilies. Mort’s Lennington All American Award winning PAPER BUTTERFLY was the first widely acclaimed cultivar with a patterned eyezone. His unwavering pursuit of excellence in the realm of patterned flowers has resulted in a disproportionately large percentage of the most coveted patterned eyes and edges by cutting edge hybridizers world wide. The popularity of his cultivars is such that they usually sell out soon after they are offered and are beloved throughout the world. FIT TO EAT
Kirchhoff. 30'' EM RE EX SEV 5 3/4''. These are sleek and luscious,
smooth and gorgeous, shades of medium carrot-orange blooms, with a suffusion
of red. The wide petals overlap and present a very full and compelling
form. Color deepens above the yellow-green throat. The petals often
show a tightly ruffled gold edge. The shape is full with wide petals
and it's another EMO. Fat sepals roll back less in cool weather than
in hot climates. The finish is silky, and both substance and color hold
well in the heat. Scapes have 3 way branching with up to 25 buds. An
